The legendary Arsenal player is one of the candidates for the Leeds United dugout
Patrick Vieira is one of the top candidates to become the new head coach of the EFL Championship side Leeds United. Interviews are scheduled to take place this week, with the Elland Road outfit hoping to find a new manager after getting relegated to the second tier.
Sam Allardyce left his position on June 2 after failing to save the club from relegation. The club said following Allardyce's departure that an announcement on a new head coach "will be made in the coming weeks".

Leeds had already sacked Jesse Marsch in February despite backing him with more than £140m over the past two transfer windows with the club in 17th.
Allardyce stepped in to try and keep Leeds up but failed to turn things around in a tough run-in against Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham.
On the other hand, Vieira is jobless after getting sacked at Crystal Palace back in March 2023, after a twelve-game run without a win.
